    Instant justice for Southampton! They forget all about that penalty appeal as they score from the resulting corner. James Ward-Prowse whips in a wicked delivery, Jose Fonte rises but the ball goes in off the shoulder of Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku rather closed his eyes and ducked out of that challenge. And was punished.

  2. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Got to be a penalty! The ball is high in the air, Shane Long nips in to get on to it before Phil Jagielka can clear, and the centre-half just volleys Long in mid-air! Absolutely leathers Long. Nothing given - an incredible call really.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    QPR have been forced into an early change with Yun Suk-Young limping off the sidelines with a pulled hammy. Harry Redknapp dusts off Clint Hill as his replacement.

    Christmas has come early at the Lane. It's just raining sensational strikes in north London - this time Erik Lamela cutting in from the right and bending a shot beyond Tom Heaton from 25 yards. Gareth Bale-esque.

    West Ham keeper Adrian has to scramble to punch over a deflected effort from Riyad Mahrez after another defensive lapse, this time from James Tomkins.

    That is as close as Manchester United have come. Ashley Young floats in a cross from the left which beats everyone and suddenly looks like it might creep into the far corner.

    Brad Guzan springs left to push it away and Villa fans can unclench their toes.

    Jonjo Shelvey has already been close to a goal, with a claim to the deflected opener, and that is closer still.

    A 25-year daisy cutter, Allan McGregor beaten all ends up, but the ball smacks off the base of the post and away.

    Leicester are not making goalkeeper Ben Hamer's life easy - another terrible backpass has him scrambling out of his box to clear into touch under heavy pressure.

    "Manchester United have retained possession well but haven't shown any of the creativity you would expect of the players they have on the pitch. Aston Villa are happy so far, they're just letting United pass the ball in front of them."

  10. Championship updatepublished at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Daryl Murphy has given Ipswich the lead at home against promotion rivals Middlesbrough, a result that would take Mick McCarthy's side up to second. Brentford are set to move up to third as they now lead 2-0 at Cardiff, with Andre Gray doubling the Bees' lead.

    Another team 2-0 ahead are Blackburn. Both of their goals have come from Jordan Rhodes in their home match against Charlton.

  11. CLOSE!published at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    This game has exploded into life and Erik Lamela almost unlocks Burnley when he jinks into the area and presents Harry Kane with a tap-in from six yards out but the striker can't get that vital touch and it runs to Christian Eriksen who blazes over the bar.

  12. SPOTTED!published at 15:30 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    That pulled-up collar and big flat cap is not fooling the television cameras. Former Aston Villa assistant Roy Keane is in the posh seats at the KC Stadium.

    Checking out the former of the Republic of Ireland's David Meyler presumably?

    The goals are flying in around the country but there's been precious little excitement on the south coast. Lots of possession, plenty of sideways passing but little breakthrough.

  14. Postpublished at 15:28 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Aston Villa are not going to give up this lead without a fight. The hosts are enjoying more possession now and are stroking the ball around while Manchester United chase hard and mostly in vain.

    "It is a goal that Dennis Bergkamp would have been happy about. He (Andy Carroll) runs through and it is deft little finish. He looks so much fitter now. Seeing a side doing well when you're out of action drives you on - he is a shoe-in for the side now."

    Christian Benteke's goal was top drawer, and now Burnley's Ashley Barnes comes up with something equally as special - the big striker being fed by George Boyd, taking a couple of touches and then hammering a shot into the top corner from outside the area. Boom. 1-1.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:26 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    A lovely move from Hull but it ends with a thud of the crossbar rather than a ripple of net.

    Gaston Ramirez's perceptive pass picks out Abel Hernandez, but Andrew Robertson crashes a powerful shot against the woodwork from the striker's's lay-off.

    Hull are pushing hard for a leveller.

    "Manchester United are finding very little space and Juan Mata is almost playing in central midfield alongside Wayne Rooney. Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao have to work harder in trying to stretch the Villa defence, running in behind, because at the moment there is no space for Mata to operate. At the moment United look like they're lacking in ideas."
